Testimonial for Carling Sothoron
I cannot recommend Carling enough! My husband and I initially sought a doula and ultimately hired Carling to help us have the unmedicated birth we so desired. Unfortunately, things did not happen as we hoped. This is where having Carling by our side was so essential and such a gift. Carling guided us through a long, physically and emotionally difficult birth. Carling helped us adjust our plans, provided us crucial information about procedures and interventions, created space for us to make decisions, and was a constant calming presence. She provided essential comfort measures, emotional support and physical relief for my husband, and held space while we labored to bring our son into the world. I cannot imagine the labor and birth without her. She is dedicated (she slept on the floor next to my mother during downtime during the long labor) and professional (provided prenatal visits and was always available by phone and text during the days and hours leading up to my labor). She visited us several days after the birth while we were still at the hospital and then visited us at home; and she has provided post-partum doula services for us as well.
